In a word, yes. I imagine it went something like this for most of them 'wow all the pros say this is the best deck in the game right now, and its cheap too, im gonna play this and instantly get #1 legend'. then 40 losses later because they're too dumb to learn how to play a combo deck 'man this deck is garbage and all the pros who said it was a good deck are idiots. im going back to my favorite <deck that is tier 3 or 4 which is why they never make legend>.
So in Friday's meta snapshot, the Tier 1 deck rankings didn't change, although Zoo moved back up one spot and they expanded tier 1 to 5 decks instead of 4, so Tier 1 goes Patron, Hybrid hunter, Oil Rogue, Handlock, Zoo. They did predict that Oil will fall to somewhere in Tier 2 in the next snapshot as more people play Face Hunter to beat Hybrid Hunter and Handlock, and Tempo mage is becoming a thing again as people become determined to make Flamewaker work. I don't see Patron ever leaving tier 1, which is also the reason I don't see Handlock ever leaving tier 1, because that matchup is definitely in favor of Handlock. If you aren't running into many patron warriors, Handlock isn't nearly as strong a deck.
Just opened a golden Mogre the Ogre. I think I saw amaz using him in a warlock deck but outside of that I haven't seen him used. So, dust it and get one of the useful cards I don't have, or keep it and probably never play it because it's golden?

Goddamn, I need whatever trick you're using for getting legendary cards in the draft. I feel like I see one every 20 arenas.
(Also, I for one like the arena stuff people post. There's almost always more interesting stuff happening than in constructed.)
I got all the face hunters, zoos and aggro paladins a couple days ago, so I made a priest deck to primarily fuck hunters over. I think I'm 13-2 against Rexxar with it now, losing to a couple mid-range decks.Does aggro get more common towards end of season? Trying to do dailies and seems every deck i face on ladder atm is zoo or hunter
Until this weekend I was seeing legendary cards at about the same rate. So far this weekend, after an 8 win mage run with 0 epic+ cards (not that mages need anything beyond commons), I had the mage deck with foe reaper, black knight, echo and BGH, then the warlock with Mal'Ganis, and then a Paladin with Onyxia, Chromagnus, Quartermaster, Muster and a Sea Giant. Honestly, I'd trade most of this shit in for some of the OP commons like flamestrike, truesilver, etc.

Pretty much, I'm stilling learning matchup plays with it but deck is a fun beast.......sadly I expect some kinda nerfing coming though since HS devs hate combo

Well, yeah, I'm all about charge being the most broken thing in the game. They won't just remove it now of course, even though it was a terrible idea from the beginning. Every charge card would obviously be shit budget shitcards otherwise, but there's a ton of useless cards already so I wouldn't care!
Maybe change charge's effect to something else, but I don't know what they could do.

Well I think they realize charge is broken because in the 2 adventures and 1 expansion that have come out since vanilla, there have been exactly 2 creatures with charge, Gnomeregan Infantry and Voltron. So I think going forward, any neutral charge minions will either be shit like Infantry or unrealistic like Voltron. Class minions with charge will still be a possibility, but they'll obviously never print something like Warsong Commander again.
